Terence Maynard (“Coronation Street”), Lara Rossi (“The Watch”) are among several new actors joining Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly in the upcoming Paramount+ series NCIS: Tony & Ziva. The 10-episode NCIS spinoff has officially begun production in Budapest.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva follows the lives of Tony DiNozzo (Weatherly) and Ziva David (Pablo) years after Ziva’s presumed death and her subsequent reunion with Tony. Now residing in Paris and raising their daughter Tali, the family’s peaceful life is disrupted when Tony’s security company is attacked. The series chronicles their perilous journey across Europe as they attempt to uncover the identity of their pursuers and rekindle their trust in one another.
Also joining de Pablo and Weatherly — who reprise their roles from CBS’ NCIS flagship — are Isla Gie, Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Nassima Benchicou, Julian Ovenden, and James D’Arcy. Paramount+ gave a series order to the show in February; Tony and Ziva is one of two new NCIS-verse series in the offing, along with a prequel titled NCIS: Origins that will debut on CBS in the fall.
